The problem is this: vm_fault_additional_pages() calls vm_pager_has_page(),
which calls vnode_pager_haspage(). Now when VOP_BMAP() returns an error (eg.
EOPNOTSUPP), vnode_pager_haspage() returns TRUE without initializing 'before'
and 'after' arguments, so we have some accidental values there. This bascially
was causing this condition to be meet:
if ((rahead + rbehind) >
((cnt.v_free_count + cnt.v_cache_count) - cnt.v_free_reserved)) {
pagedaemon_wakeup();
[...]
}
(we have some random values in rahead and rbehind variables)
I'm not entirely sure this is the right fix, maybe we should just return FALSE
in vnode_pager_haspage() when VOP_BMAP() fails?
alc@ knows about this problem, maybe he will be able to come up with a better
fix if this is not the right one.
